- 384bits / 3gb
- Same SP performance
- nearly the same core speed of the 7970 ( 900 vs 925mhz))

12.5% more SP ... 17-20% more performance.
You have to admit your words are at the same time, trying to slam on Nvidia and put AMD in a better light.

Lets do the same thing with AMD 7970.

Sure this card cut down to hell is "only" 25 percent faster than a standard 7970, but fully enabled(2880 shaders) this chip is somewhere around 40 percent faster that a 7970 ghz edition(I think the reviews complilation got an average of 33% with one cluster disabled) or 50 percent faster than 7970.

Guess what the bigger the chip gets, the harder it is to get good yields and get everything enabled
